You beat me to it. Go Beach Boys!!!!!!!!!!

My first car was a '64 Biscayne. That was 53 years ago. If I still had it, it would now be a 4 speed 409 car.

Not really a muscle motor but in 1958 Edsel had a 410 cu. in. MEL V-8. Also, Mercury offered a 410 version of the FE engine in 1965. That's all I can think of for today.

Actually, The 410 was available in the 66 and 67 model year Mercs. not 65.
Crazy bout a Mercury !

Thanks, Dave, for the info. My source (wikipedia) said introduced in 1965, so I assumed it was in the 65 Merc. My bad - imagine that bad info on the internet. What will they think of next?? Maybe I just read it wrong. After all I am human.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that it's Steve Wann Day!

(...the 413 is really diggin' in...)

That engine was introduced to the motoring public the same year I was born, so that's cool. Furthermore, as long as it has a c.i. or hp rating between 401 and 430, it ranks in my book as a contributor to a super strong month. Thanks for the addition of it!
